In Depressy Episode 12, Missy & Allie break down something called the “Motivation Myth.”

This is the idea that we often feel we need to be energized/excited/happy/motivated before we do something we enjoy.

For example – I need to feel happy in order to see my friends, I need to feel outgoing to attend a party, I need tofeel motivated to get out of bed.

Missy & Allie talk about what is wrong about this idea and how it can actually lead to and worsen symptoms of depression.

Whether you are feeling a little stressy/depressy or just want to learn more about science-backed tips for a happier life… listen up!
